Chapter 11

Benefits of Chapter 11:
- Under Chapter 11, Business’s creditors must immediately cease all actions against the debtor or the debtor’s property.
- This “automatic stay” can give the business some much needed breathing room to make the necessary changes to get the business back on track.
- The debtor receives a moratorium of several months on the payments of its debts.
Bankruptcy Litigation
Who it’s for:
- Litigation within the Bankruptcy Court can be broken down into two broad categories: Adversary Proceedings and Contested Matters
- An Adversary Proceeding is basically a lawsuit within the core bankruptcy case that follows rules of procedure substantially similar to the FRCP
- Contested Matter are other litigation that occur within the bankruptcy case but are treated less formally than adversary proceedings
- Not all bankruptcy attorneys handle litigation (the majority do not)
Benefits of Litigation:
- Our firm has extensive litigation experience and we never shy away from a fight (we like it)!
